iptables: Add file output option to iptables-save
Adds an option to output the results of iptables-save,
ip6tables-save, and xtables-save save to a file.
Updates the man page with this new option.
Uses the dup2 call to replace stdout with the specified file.
Error output is unchanged.
This is a feature requested by a Gentoo developer in
Bugzilla #905.
